Thank you to all who purchased NOMRE items from Cafe Press. The proceeds are going directly to families
in need who we met after Katrina, and we are staying in touch with as many as possible.

CALIFORNIA PIANO NIGHT BENEFIT Sunday May 25, 2008 Benefit for Sylvia Palmer and her daughters. We met Sylvia and
her daughters, Angela and Sarah right after Katrina. They were one of the many families that called NOMRE. Here it is three
years later, and they are just moving back into their home which was gutted after the flood. Basically, they are starting
their lives over again. This years Piano Night Benefit is for Sylvia and her girls. We want to thank everyone who has helped
in this effort. Sylvia has been a piano teacher for many years and both her daughters play musical instruments. We at NOMRE
wish them the very best. We love you Sylvia, Angela and Sarah!
